I think anything that can be used to increase performance and give an advantage over another player should be banned from use.

Here is a video from a CS:GO analyst and expert on the subject matter: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Concentration levels don't increase the skill level of the player.

That would be the same equivalent as saying someone who got a full nights sleep before a game event shouldn't be allowed to play because someone else only got a few hours.

The drug helps you concentrate, sure. It doesn't affect how good you are at the game though.

Better concentration = better reaction time, which is one of the most important factors in FPS games.. of course it gives an advantage

Wrong, better concentration only means that you hold focus for longer which can also be a downfall; for example: Im holding and angle in CSGO and full focused on that ready to take a shot but my team are calling for me to rotate and help. My focus would on the angle would override the call outs causing me to not listen. I understand how beta blockers help in certain e-sports so you can keep calm and create strats during mid game such as LOL.

Till we have full tests on a large focus group of different esports and competitive levels then it should be allowed. Also why ban people from playing when they could have ADHD which in turn makes them require addy

Im not saying it shouldnt be allowed i dont really care about that part but i dont think theres any denying better focus gives you better reaction time?? Also if you're not listening to your team just because you're focusing on holding an angle then thats just being a bad team player really, having more focus should make you focus more on your gameplay aswell as communication with your team

This is a huge debate in CS:GO right now is it not?
